3 Leinster teams played 3 Ulster teams and Leinster won all 3.

Replying To Eddie the Exile:  "Fair play. Was quietly optimistic but have to say i was surprised how easy it turned out in the end. Roscommon's big players went missing after 40 mins.
It's bonus territory for Monaghan now...just the way we like it."
We shouldn't like it, no wonder we've not won Sam.

Replying To Gaa_lover:  "Donegal V Cork
Galway V Westmeath
Cavan v Dublin
Louth v Armagh
Kildare V Kerry

Five games that should be straight forwards wins Donegal,Galway,Dublin,Armagh and Kerry. A disappointing draw for neturals when you have 5 of your 8 games like that.

Tyrone V Mayo
Derry v Meath
Monaghan V Roscommon


Three games that are hard to call.

How often have Tyrone won back to back championship games since winning the All-Ireland five years ago? A game Mayo can win so long as they improve defensively

Monaghan v Roscommon a game that has high drama written all over it. Home advantage and no Enda Smith is a big advantage for Monaghan to win

Derry v Meath big opportunity for both to kick start their championship could take extra time to find a winner I have a slight fancy for Meath."
I hope you didn't have any bets on those predictions….

I think if roles were reversed we would be in the same boat and get beaten small population and winning a provincial its what roscommon and monaghan are about and when that's achieved we fold up the tent unfortunately were very similar in footballing terms but maybe pundits talk up the rossies a small bit too much there was talk of semi finals but its not a bad year to win senior u20 and minor in 1 year someday hopefully monaghan or roscommon can put a top 3 team out in croke Park and fulfill there potential anyway congrats on connaught title and sure its something to savour and no-one can take 2026 connaught title from yous good luck in 27

Replying To Pope_Benedict:  "Two of those three losses were to Kerry and Dublin of course, sides that in the 1975-1979 era were only being beaten by Kerry and Dublin in championship football."
Roscommon were well beaten in the 1978 semi final by the great Mick O'Dwyer managed Kerry team who were at the peak of their powers. In 1979, Roscommon were National League champions and 3 in a row Connacht champions and they lost the All Ireland semi final by a point to a Dublin team in decline who were hammered by Kerry in the final. That '79 semi final was one Roscommon should have won. We beat Armagh in semi final 1980 by 6 points which remains our last championship win in Croke Park. To join the discussion here, it's not either or between Connacht titles and a tilt at the All Ireland series. Galway have just won 4 Connacht's in a row and got in that time to two All Ireland finals. I thought beforehand that yesterday's game was 50/50 so I'm not shocked Roscommon lost. I am shocked by Roscommon's performance which was dreadful and not fit for the thousands of our supporters who travelled to Clones to outnumber the home support. It's the worst championship performance by Roscommon I can remember. Yes the replay in 2017 to Mayo was a bad day but that was a great Mayo side that got to 4 All Ireland finals losing three of them by a single point to the historic Dublin team. Yesterday Roscommon were outfought and out thought by a Monaghan team who will be out of the championship next weekend or the weekend after depending on the draw. On the plus side, a lot of young Roscommon players got good experience this Summer and they'll learn from it. On the downside, we'll lose Diarmuid Murtagh and Enda Smith over the next couple of years and they'll be hard to replace. I'd hope next year we'd do back to back Connacht's for the first time since 1991 which was the year of our last All Ireland semi final. Thanks to players and management for a memorable season. They put the work in and know better than any of us that yesterday was not nearly good enough in the famous primrose and blue shirt.

Some real OTT stuff on here. Bad day yesterday and we blew a chance to put ourselves in an All Ireland QF in great shape, noone will know that more than the players and management. Looking at it without the emotions from yesterday though the net result of everything to date is if Armagh win today, ourselves, Kerry and Armagh are in the exact same position as we were in at this stage last year, we've played half the games and we've beaten Kerry well in 2 big games this year.
I know Kerry weren't full strenght but we were 22 points up at one stage in the league final and 13 points at one stage in Killarney, Kerry will be a different animal if we meet again but those are massive scores so we've shown a high ceiling and have to take beliefe from those wins.
On the flip side against Down and Cork we've shown when we aren't quite at it we can look a poor side.

Two big performances over the next two weekends and the Cork gane will be forgotten about.

Very poor organising by Louth not to have a clock in the ground with time keeping on it. They rushed that last shot in first half by not knowing.

Replying To Toast:  "Yesterday's games should be a warning to Galway, take this easy at their peril. Rightly the favourites for this one but give Westmeath a sniff and with the big support they'll have they could turn it into a battle. I think this is a really good test of Galways character at the right time of the championship. Best avoid the losers side of the draw considering the teams in that pot tomorrow morning. Great chance to click and get momentum going into the business end of the championship. Gaillimh abu."
That other pot just got another meaty entry, well done Louth

-- No attempts a 2 pointers until late on, until it was too late.
-- Peadar Mogan still wasted at corner back, where is Mark Curran etc?
-- No impact from the bench when we badly needed it.

We were the better team for most of that game, but 2 pointers kept Cork in it and Cork were arguably the better side the in closing 15 minutes.

Imagine if we started Eoin McGeehin or Shea Malone and had brought Michael Murphy, Ryan McHugh etc off the bench with 15 minutes to go yesterday?

Replying To Farneyblueandwhite:  "Wow steady on jese roscommon were rubbish they admit themselves over on there webpage it was there worst performance all year semi final is a world away at this minute yes good in second half but plenty to work on bit of realism needed here it's our first good performance since roscommon in league 2 final last year or down in armagh last year"
How's Cavan doing?

I think we have to be honest about the game. This is definitely the mentality within the squad. They just can't bring there game to the big matches. Well done to Monaghan they defended well in the second half but Roscommon were so poor they didn't have to force anything. That's as bad as anything I seen last year and I think they need to look ahead and sort out this mental block they have when it comes to the big games.

16 became 12. Rossies can feel hard done by luck of the draw but other three are the right three eliminated .

This time two weeks we will only have three more games left in championship.

Next week looks way too packed with four do or die knockout games, two knockout hurling quarter finals and taitleann Cup semis as well.

Let the thing breathe. This coupled with WC taking place, expect plenty of giving out about TV and throw times.

Replying To Fionn:  "Great to get the win today in front of 14,500.
Wasn't expecting an 11pt victory tbh FT 0-16 to 1-24

Only a point in it at half time but a few tweaks by Ger did the trick, and we scored the last 1-03 without reply.

We had 9 scorers with Con top scoring with 1-09.
Great to see Lee and Collie both chipping in with 2pts.
And Ross with 3pts.

Hopefully Cossie's injury isn't too bad after he went off early on.

So next up is either Donegal, Armagh or Mayo…!

Interesting hearing Ger saying after the game to DubsTv that IF we get a Home tie, he will be pushing for it to be played in Parnell Park….!

Yes, good to see Dublin get back on track. Not surprised at 11 point win. Cavan are Cavan!

I'd probably like to see it be Dub v. Mayo, and in the Neller. Dub-Mayo games bring a great atmosphere. Would expect Dub to win.

I'd like to see Armagh v Kerry in Box-It.

Meath v Donegal in Nyvan or nearest available ground.

W'Meath v Monaghan in Mullingyar!

Good win today and great to have the lads back.Feeling more positive now.I wpuld guess thats tongue in cheek with Ger about the Neller but would nt it be gas if we drew Donegal and played in the Neller after all their whinging about Dubs using Croke park as a home ground.
